is it ok to use miracle gro potting soil for the seeds and do i have to change the soil at any stage of the plant??
someone please answer me coz im waitin to start sprouting
I have a soil mix here i got off a video if it is any use to you.
Potting Soil 60%
perlite 15%
Building Sand 10% (Not beach sand as it contains salt)
Worm Castings 10%
Pre mix 5% containing N -12 P-6 K-6
N=Nitrogen
P=Phosporous
K=Potasium
The shop should understand the N.P.K value
Get this and mix it and theres your soil,personally tho i got a grow shop to deliver me a bag ready mixed

3. Miracle Grow...some people swear by it, others despise it. I suggest using it and at least 2 others......find what works best for you. I have seen plants grown in Miracle Grow do quite nicely although I would use other stuff.
4. No you dont want to go changing soil. The plant will adapt and grow in its soil environment and radically altering the soil could radically alter your plant chemistry. Pick it and stick with it. See what works.
Expect to kill your first grow. Expect the worst. Start out with bag seed and you will definatley learn only thru experience.
These people here growing trees, forests, and acreage of weed are very experienced and have been growing for a long time. Don't set your expectations based on what you see.
Use them only as a "What is possible" reference.
I killed my first grow on week three. :eek:
But i kept meticulous records and found my errors.
And now, all is well again.... :D
HAPPY GROWING :)
the issue I see with M. Grow is the fert last 3 months meaning into flowering stage and can you really flush a plant that has MG as the soil? I think MG might give the bud a harsh taste, IMO only
